On my laptop, YouTube videos would fail to play properly on my BigPipe connection, but work on Spark.

It may be different for others, but given DarkShadow's tip-off, from my point of view it would appear that there's something going on in BigPipe's network that's interfering with QUIC connections to YouTube. No idea about BigPipe's internals... Firewall configuration? Caching? If QUIC-enabled browsers are redirected to different Google servers, perhaps even routing?

I'm on bigpipe ADSL and 1080p youtube videos start immediately without any waiting for buffering.

Hi,

we've only had maybe 15-20 tickets raised about it.

Although of course we don't know how many customers are having issues that never end up contacting us about it, and there are still lots of 'false positives' where people report a Youtube issue but it turns out to be their wifi or torrenting flatmate clogging up their line etc.

Update for everyone else:

Network team are working with Google about it - seems likely something cache related but not sure what yet. Google have asked us to collect a bunch of info to pass onto their engineers which we have been doing.

Looks like disabling this QUIC thing might be a "quic fix" (pun intended).

So far, we haven't had anybody report that it doesn't work for them. (If you try it and it doesn't work - please let us know)

Count me as one of the people who haven't reported it. I didn't realise it was an ISP/Google problem to be honest, until now...

In my case it's both Youtube and Google Play Music that stop buffering. Both work fine now, after disabling 'QUIC' in Chrome. In Safari, Google Music was fine anyway, but both browsers were having buffering issues with Youtube, intermittently over the last couple of weeks.

I've got the same problem with YouTube and I'm also disconnecting from Final Fantasy XIV VERY frequently. I think both symptoms started at around the same time.

If it helps, I'm on a public IP which I requested a long time ago so I could port forward.

I'm getting disconnected on FFXIV too. are you getting 90002 all the time then completely kicked out the game?

Yep, it was happening pretty constantly.

I tried WTFast hoping that would fix it, but it didn't help. Then I switched to Mudfish using two nodes "AU Oceania (Sydney - Amazon EC2)" to "JP Asia (Tokyo - Amazon EC2)" and it's been rock solid ever since.

I tried mudfish but it didn't seem to work for me. haven't d/c'd at all today though.

MediaLight:

I feel like we are getting off topic. The issue is with Youtube. Big Pipe urgency is appreciated. Thanks

It's not off topic since we were both getting the youtube problem and this started to happen at the same time..
